[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't make beds either.  Sometimes I wil pull the blanket up quickly but usually not.
I have no issues with bed makers. It just isn't my priority in life.  I think we are a pretty laid back family.  The house is clean and reasonably organized but is well lived in. We have 6 people living in a 3 bedroom house so it can only ever be clean.
Neighbors and friends have commented that our house feels "comfortable".  For a while I was concerned that they meant messy but after asking some close friends, who will tell the truth no matter what, they eleborated and said the house feels like people actually live here. It is not a amgazine picture.

Hate to burst your bubble but a "comfortable" house or a "lived-in" house means messy.  It doesn't necessarily mean dirty but just toys all over the place, dining room table piled up with junk, kitchen counters junked up.

Growing up we had to made our beds and I still do and chidren make their beds, as well.  When they were younger, spreading up bed was fine, but now they have t make it.  It simply looks better and I think you sleep better.[/quote]

Not the person you're talking to, but I disagree. We just went to a party at a friend's house with a small child. Their house looked comfortable and lived in but was far from messy. It just had things that the family uses regularly within easy reach. Toys in a neat stack in the corner, candles with dark wicks, real fruit in bowls, a pair of eyeglasses in a powder room. The refrigerator door is over crowded with children's art, dr's office magnets, and holiday cards from friends.

This is not the stuff I'd call messy. This is the stuff that says "a family lives here." My husband and I have minimalist furniture and find that a mess looks terrible in our house. We try hard to keep our upstairs rooms spotless. Our downstairs, far from messy, is probably more "lived in." Because it is! And that doesn't mean toys everywhere and dust bunnies in the corner, either.[/quote]
